Hello! I hope you can help me. My family and I are from the Philippines and we are traveling to Daegu to watch Sky Lanterns. The gwandeung website is in Korean and we can't understand it. We were looking for instructions on how to get the free tickets to watch the sky lanterns. You said here that it will be given out forst come first served basis from 13:00-16:00. Where exactly can we get it? We still want to tour the city using the circular tour bus before the festival so we really want to secure or avail our festival tickets first.

Hi sorry for replying instead but if you're planning to get the free tickets for yellow/ blue zone it's best if you go there early in the morning and not 1pm to line up. It's expected that many people will be in line to get those tickets so if you're planning to take a tour of the city before the festival, you might not be able to get those tickets. If you check the fb page of the festival, people are saying that they will pack lunch and line up early in the morning.

Hello there! The website won't load for me and I had a few questions. If you don't get tickets into the yellow or green zone wold you still be able to see the laterns from outside the stadium? What would be a good time to arrive for tickets, and where will they be giving the tickets out? Coming down to see this event because it looks beautiful ♡

Hi! I think you can see the lanterns outside. Try going up to the highest building you can find and it does says up there that 83 tower can show a nice view. Tickets will be given in the plaza parking lot and I think it's best if you go there in the morning but not like dawn because that's too tiring. You can try checking out this site http://www.worknplay.co.kr/index.php/mod/event/act//showEvent/evt_no/1031. It also has information on how you can go there. hope this helps
